How relevant is potential if it’s rarely fulfilled?
The point is that building an Electron app of the same caliber as VS Code is a very expensive endeavor and likely not within reach of the vast majority of projects using Electron. That will continue to be true so long as using Electron is seen as a way to cut development costs to a minimum rather than as a way to develop a high quality cross platform app at a cost that’s higher than that of a single native app, but cheaper than multiple native apps. A philosophy shift is required for Electron to shine.
